I will appreciate some advice for improving my Verbal. I have a week to the GMAT test day and I continue to score miserably on Verbal, no matter what I do. I revise my mistakes and try different strategies but the overall result is 30-34 on Verbal. I am a non-native speaker. I did Manhattan SC, Powerscore CR and ETS Modules about RC. I did Kaplan RC workbook, OG 11 and 12 questions and I read scientific and business new in English every 2 days. Most of my mistakes are in RC (main idea q-ns mainly), followed by CR (weakening q-ns, main idea questions).

Hi, welcome to the club!

30-34 is not so bad for non-native, I would kill for 35 :) just kidding.
for RC you may find useful RC strategies here: gmat-club-s-reading-comprehension-strategy-guide-83101.html
But RC is most difficult to improve in a short period of time. It is all about comprehension and time. th more time you invest the more accurate your responses but less time remains for other questions, so overall accuracy reduces.

for weakening CR read Powerscore CR bible, find there how to atack this type of question and you will improve your CR.

good luck
